Does this happen to you?

All week I've been forgetting to take my pills! I've had the same routine for over a year and all of a sudden, I'm just forgetting! Is this brain fog? So weird!

Yes - it could be that you're feeling better and you attention is being diverted to other things.

And yes, that could also be "brain fog" or some other neuro-psycho symptom that triggers memory loss or confusion. I have always struggled with forgetting doses. That could mean that you need to revisit your protocol and your symptoms, which is very normal, especially at the one-year mark. Our bodies are dynamic, the illnesses are dynamic, our treatment is dynamic--it all changes over time.

Are you feeling better these days?

If you're feeling better now it makes sense if you're forgetting about it. If not, just set a thousand alarms on your phone if you need to, it works haha

A bit, actually. Maybe 10 or 20 percent better. My mood is vastly improved. That might just be it. My mind is starting to focus on other things than Lyme.

Yes, I try to take everything about 30 min apart, which means I'm doing something every half our except from 1-4 or something like that. It's insane and not possible some days.

But I don't sweat it - stressing out about it would eliminate the benefit of taking the doses!

I have alarms set on my phone and sometimes they are effective, sometimes not. And... I give myself permission to blow everything off every now and then and have a "free day".

Wow! Really? That's intense. I'm sure it makes everything more effective. I just pile everything in at the same time. I just assume my body knows what to do with it all.
